576: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,

578: To extract:
579:
580: <blockquote><pre>
581: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
582: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
583: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
584: </pre></blockquote>
585:
586: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
587: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
588: To extract:
589:
590: <blockquote><pre>
591: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>

614:
615: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
616: if you know nothing about ports
617: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
618: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
619: OpenBSD ports system.
620: <p>
621: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
622: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
623: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
624: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
625: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
626: with a command like:
627:
628: <blockquote><pre>
629: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
630: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_3</b>
631: </pre></blockquote>
632:
633: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
634: server.]
635: <p>
636: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
637: ports for the 6.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
638: <p>
639: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
640: would like to know more, the mailing list
641: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
